Hey, my phone just stopped charging today and Rogers said it doesn't matter if it's rooted since the phone is meant to be open-source. I am also getting my phone replaced by them... Does the charging matter have to do with the root?

Ps- wtf is a loggex backon? lol?
[XPERIA X10 General] j4mm3r:
How about when the phone has been unlocked?

Wow... that is so unlike Rogers! But, good to know anyways.

By the way my phone stopped charging within days of me first getting the phone. Turns out that the USB cable was faulty.

How about the condition when you have unlocked the phone?

Does Rogers respect the warranty if the phone has been unlocked by entering the SIM unlock code?

I'm looking for a way to add a specific widget to my lockscreen. Is this possible? If so, how would I go about doing it.

Thanks.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] krelvinaz:
Unless you are making your own lockscreen, there is no.such option.

It would kind of defeat the purpose of the lockscreen.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Gimpeh:
Look for flyscreen in the market.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] mothy:
Also try widget locker, you can pick from specific lock screens and add widgets
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] the_grobe:
I looked into both of those... It seemed that they only allowed for certain widgets. Maybe I'll try em out.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Gimpeh:
Flyscreen allows all android widgets.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] x1208x:
This is what you want my friend.

It allows you to put any widget & shortcuts you want on your default lock screen.

But it costs $0.99

I've tried it in beta form. Its a tiny bit laggy but it works.

Widget Locker:

[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] the_grobe:
Thanks to all for helping out. I tried both FlyScreen and WidgetLocker, but decided that I didn't really care for widgets all over my lock screen (alas, indecisiveness). That being said, WidgetLocker is far superior, so if you're looking for something like this, it's worth the junior bacon cheeseburger.

Hi all,

Well, I have been thinking about buying the milestone until today after I read some posts I am hessitating now because of the locked bootloader.

I want a phone that runs 2.1 and has a physical qwerty keyboard. any advice? Many thanks!
[Android] traxxasaddict:
I have an lg ally and it has 2.1. I haven't found any roms for it yet, but it has Divx VOD and it beat my dad's stock Droid in numerous benchmarks. Its also $100 cheaper and has a better keyboard.
[Android] Chris08:
Hi,

OK, but the question is still which one to get here in Europe.

Hey guys

I tried searching the forums, but found nothing on this. I'm looking to refresh all the facebook photos that are used in the sense contacts. I have done the link/unlink and sign out of facebook for sense in the past, but these get annoying because I then have to relink all the accounts. Now that I have root, is it possible to clear a cache of these photos somewhere so that they refresh? I'm really trying to avoid having to re-link so many accounts again.

Thanks
[Droid Incredible General] bearmacerick:
.

I was wondering the same thing, myself
[Droid Incredible General] shoman24v:
Yeah, that **** doesn't update at all.

They are also pixelated as ****.
[Droid Incredible General] armoredraven:
Well this kept bugging me too, but I just keep doing the sign out of facebook and resign in trick...

I don't know why this would unlink all your contacts to their facebook accounts, as whenever I sign out and sign back in, nothing changes except the contact pictures...

I also am not deleting the account then creating a new one if that helps...
[Droid Incredible General] mortal.glitch:
If you have the contacts backed up to Google remove the face book account then clear contact storage under manage applications then re-sync Google then re add Facebook. Hope that helps.
[Droid Incredible General] siverson:
It has something to do with Friend Stream and the way things are linked with it.

I know I have done it before and when I choose refresh it does go out and update their Contact photo's to their latest Facebook photo.

I just sat here playing with it and I can get them to update as long as they are linked. However if you have a photo saved into an Outlook contact, it will not update, it will force to what Outlook has set. (I know this is true for Exchange, but not sure if it is same for a Desktop Sync)

Hope this helps !
[Droid Incredible General] siverson:
From Android Central.... (I cant post links)

If your facebook contact has changed their picture and you want to update it on your phone, go to

People > Online Directory > Facebook > Click refresh.
[Droid Incredible General] shoman24v:
Damn they make it so difficult.

Thanks.
[Droid Incredible General] ncwildcat:
Syncmypix app...works great even with froyo and non sense roms
[Droid Incredible General] Lynx83:
I second this... What is really weird is my wife doesn't have this problem, all of her contacts sync perfectly, it definitely frustrates me lol.
[Droid Incredible General] Akuehner:
Refreshing them through the facebook directory only refreshed them in that screen, not in my normal contact list. The app was a great suggestion though, thanks!
[Droid Incredible General] bonzai299:
What I found is that once you scroll over a contact it will add them to the 'to update' list. So if you scroll through your contacts when refreshing then it will update them all ----very slowly though.

When trying to pair my Tilt 2 with my HP pavilion 9700, it is showing the pairing code is not correct. I can pair other devices, just not my Tilt 2..any suggestions? I have reinstalled my bluetooth driver on the laptop, but it says the pairing code isn't correct.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] oOflyeyesOo:
I would love to get my hands on a good multi touch keyboard WITHOUT the voice key next to the space bar. I always seem to hit it when trying to hit the space bar. I think it should be removed and extend the space bar, or just change it to a comma as that isn't as bad just to back space rather than having to get out of the speech dialog.

I know that the droidx multi tough keyboard port from the nexus one was posted. It is a great keyboard but once again it has the voice key, one thing that is odd is that in the pictures in the n1 MT keyboard post there is no voice key..... just like I like it.

Anyone else with me on rather having it without the voice key?

Okay, I downloaded the modaco rom and pulled out the MobileAP.apk from it. I've attached it. Supposedly this is deodexed - notice the size differences as compared to the original. I also found libmobileap.jar in /system/framework and I attached it too - had to append .zip extension so that I could attach it (.jar are not allowed on xda) so just strip it. Maybe that is the missing shared library referred to in the error you posted above. I suspect it would have to be copied to /system/framework before installing MobileAP.apk although I don't really have an understanding how this works. Anybody...?

Barnicle tether is now working 100%

I am working with the devs to get wirelesstether to work.

but, You guys can fool with this.

it would be cool because it creates a true access point.
[Vibrant Android Development] marsupial99:
Thank you for the update on wireless tether - this would be my preferred application since it works so well when it does work.

Barnacle Tether does not work for me even after the last two updates - it loads once and then I have to reboot my phone to get it to create an ad-hoc access point again or it just errors out. Also, it still does not work without having to modify you MTU settings on your client device - I wouldn't say that it is working 100% because of those two issues.

Mobile AP seems to be a dead end at this point so I really hope that Wireless Tether effort is a success. I will definitely donate to help along with it.
[Vibrant Android Development] pablo1215:
I dont know if you guys saw but the user Jr33 has posted a version that I can say is working 100% on my vibrant. You just have to flash through clockwork recovery. Its much nicer and easier than any other wireless tether once installed you just go to settings, wireless settings, and it will say mobileAP

Is any one else having an issue of the GPS taking an extremely long time to get a lock?
[Captivate General] systoxity:
Out of the box it worked flawlessly. I messed with a location setting and then gas took around thirty seconds to lock. I turned that setting back on and gas flew again. On average, my gps has a lock by the time the map loads
[Captivate General] cropythy:
Could you tell me what your gps settings are then? Also could you dial *#*#1472365#*#* and go to application settings and spul or something like that and list what you have there?
[Captivate General] derek4484:
I'd say that driving home the gps got a lock relatively quickly but it was only a lock accurate to within 50 meters. I guess this is good enough for driving but it wouldnt be good enough for biking or jogging.
[Captivate General] rob989_69:
Mine takes a full minute to lock. I think the issue, at least with mine, is that no matter what I do to the settings, their not saved. So if I go to settings and change location settings, or use *#*#1472365#*#* the settings never seem to save. Not sure if I'm doing something wrong or this is a bug, sure seems like a bug though.

[Captivate General] Shadow77895:
I have been having the same problems. I tried messing with the GPS settings and it seems to have made things somewhat better, though I can't confirm it. Here's what I did, if you are interested.

Dial *#*#1472365#*#*

Go to SUPL/CP Settings

Set server to supl.google.com

Set server port to 7276

Set SUPL Secure Socket to OFF

Go back then go to Application Settings

Set Operation Mode to MS Based

Set Accuracy to 80

Set Use SkyHook to ON

I'm not sure if any of these things made a real difference at all, but I do know that right now my GPS is reporting an accuracy of within 10 meters in a location where I couldn't get a lock before. I'd love to hear if this helps or hurts anyone else's GPS performance.

Thanks this actually fixed my issue of not being able to ft a lock at all. Accuracy is pretty high at 30m but it was spot on in Maps.

No Real Change...

I've tried following the directions in the GPS Fix 101 thread under the Vibrant section: no luck... I tried what was suggested abouve: no luck...

Can someone tell em what I'm doing wrong? I know that usually the issue is w/ the operator, not the device and I'm new to Android. I like the phone, but GPS is a BIG reason I bought an Android phone. I need something that is REALLY accurate as we have smaller blocks in some of the towns I go to. Seriously, where my parents live there are A, B, etc. streets and some city blocks are so small there is an "L 1/2 St" ( You can laugh about everything being bigger in TX...)

I do a ton of traveling so this feature is VERY important to me. I just got back from one cross country trip tonight and seldom did I get a good GPS lock and that was on major Hwy's. How does this compare to the ARIA? My sister just got one of those, but hasn't messed around w/ it as it is her first Android phone.

I'd appreciate any help or advice anyone can give. Thanks in advance!!!
[Captivate General] lonestarmotorcyclist:
If it helps; I was just outside my father-in-laws house and it initially had me about 2-3 blks away in the middle of a golf fairway. It is a clear night, no clouds or heavy trees. I can only detect 1-2 sat.'s when I do a test, and I have a Bodyglove silicon/rubber case/skin.
[Captivate General] lonestarmotorcyclist:
Ok, I tried it again... In the house I'm about 500 ft off from where I really am and placed in a golf fairway. Outside I am FURTHER off: I'd estimate at least 5 blocks and placed in the middle of a different golf fairway. For comparision sake, my wife's iPhone 3Gs has her within 10-20' while inside the house. I can detect 3-4 sat's. which is the most ever, but it does not use any of them... To me, this is unacceptable and a great cause for concern. What can I do???

Will/Can this be fixed.

I am very disappointed with my GPS performance in an otherwise very enjoyable phone.

GPS is important to me and I am seriously considering returning the phone. There are a couple of other issues, but I'm working through them.

Do you think the issue will be repaired? Guess at how long until fixed? I know it's all just a guess.
[Captivate General] alambers:
They above settings improved my GPS signal acquisition, however, accuracy was still very poor. This was extremely evident when navigating around town. I'm currently testing the following settings and so far things seem to be working well:

Go to SUPL/CP Settings

Set to AUTO config

Set SUPL Secure Socket OFF

Go back then go to Application Settings

Set Operation Mode to MS Assisted

Set Accuracy to 100

Set Use SkyHook to ON

Using these settings I can reliably track 8-9 satellites and lock 4-5. Accuracy tends toward 5-10 meters and signal acquisition is usually within seconds.

I've noticed that after changing settings it can take the GPS a while to acquire a lock. Subsequent uses improve in speed.

I'm by no means an expert on these settings so if anybody sees a problem with them please let me know.
[Captivate General] naplesbill:
I used these settings and still could not get a lock. So, I tried the following and it worked to 30 meters within seconds. Haven't tested further or while driving yet:

Same as above but:

Set Operation Mode to Standalone

Set Accuracy to 20

With these settings I am getting a fast lock and some accuracy. I tried everything from 3 to 100 on the Accuracy setting. The best I was getting with any other setting (except 25) was 50 meters and most of the time it was 100 meters.
[Captivate General] doug_s:
Both these settings and the Custom set in a previous post in this thread improved my results. I'm eager to see what works best in the car.
[Captivate General] doug_s:
This was helpful for the performance of GPS on my Captivate. Is there a reference you could site for this information? I'm curious, as I'd have had no idea where to begin changing these settings. Thanks!
